Footsteps in the Sand

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the Lord.

Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand,
one beloning to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life there is
only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most
you would leave me."

The Lord replied "My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffereing,
when you see only one set of footprints in the sand,
it was then that I carried you."

How can i thank God for His unconditional love?
How can i repay God's abundant grace in my life?
Hope that i can share God's unconditional love and love others as He loves others too..
May I carry my own cross and follow Jesus' footsteps faithfully throughout my life... =)

Though there have been lots of ups and downs, I remain grateful, for God was always with me, and always will be.. =)

30th July ~ 1st August

Just came back from 迎新生活营（+ - x /）2010 ~ Am dead tired right now XD haven't been exercising regularly, thus am suffering muscle pain from the excessive outdoor activities that we had! XD on the whole, it was quite fun despite not really knowing anybody before the camp =P Made some very awesome friends~ ;) this camp was held specially to welcome first year students to uni life, many UPM students attended the camp as UPM is the nearest uni~ come to think of it, if i hadn't choose to study in ATC, i would be one of the UPMers! =D haha.. basically, i'm the ONLY student that comes from Serdang! 80-90% of the students are from Sarawak~~ and they are all Fukchows! XD makes me very guilty when they speak fukchow, cuz i'm a fukchow illiterate fukchow!! ah!! XD need mix around more to learn fukchow from them =P anyways, who cares where you're from and what ethnicity you are? God loves everybody regardless of race, religion, gender, nationality and etc! God always loves the person on the inside, so should we~ =) Had a great time with my new friends, lots of laughs, lots of fun~ ;)

our camp's theme

woke up at 5am on the 31st to climb Broga Hill to see the sunrise~ it wasn't an easy climb up, but we made it in the end, the beautiful scenery and fresh air made the exhaustive climb worthwhile! =) ohya, met bowl and xing and co too! surprise surprise~ ^_^

after returning to the campsite, we had obstacle courses XD there was obstacle course, kayaking, etc.. did some really extreme activities for the first time =P first time playing flying fox, rock climbing and leap of faith~

all geared up~ flying fox here i come~~

was very very gan jiong cuz it was my first time facing the flying fox obstacle.. it was really an ecstatic experience~ =P was tensed when i jumped and started sliding, however, when i relaxed and started to appreciate the view, the ride ended =.=

the one that made the most impression was the Leap of Faith..

We had to don on a full body harness and climb a super tall tree, reach the mini platform and JUMP!!! our target was to catch hold of a black horizontal pole hanging in mid air.. XD
